Rental Types
We strive to rent to outside groups or organizations that have a social justice or community-building component to the event. The group/organization’s mission and vision must be in alignment with All Souls Church. We are able to accommodate private events on a case-by-case basis, if they are hosted or sponsored by a member of the church. All Souls requires all caterers to be insured and licensed, with documentation provided to the church’s event manager. Alcohol must be served by an insured and licensed bartender. Please read through our FAQs for additional information about All Souls and events.
All Souls Church is willing to rent space to persons, businesses, or other organizations whose mission and values align with those of the church. We welcome people and organizations from all walks of life who also share, respect, and appreciate our values.
Regular Rentals
All Souls Church is willing to rent space to verifiable non-profit organizations whose mission and values align with those of the church. We welcome persons and organizations from all walks of life who also share, respect, and appreciate our values.
Most often, we are able to provide organizations with discounted rental rates, usually 25% off our regular rental rates. Organizations who have not received their 501(c)(3) documentation at least 3 weeks prior to their event date are not eligible for the All Souls Nonprofit Rates, and will be charged full price.
Please note that any event that takes place outside of our regular hours of operation will be charged a flat rate fee of $150 per day, plus $50 an hour in staff coverage. This covers the church’s expenses involved with opening/closing and staffing the building outside of our regular hours. These are fees we charge any renter, including church members, when event hours/dates are outside our regular hours and there are no exceptions to this requirement.
Church members requesting space on behalf of a non-profit organization for an event will receive non-profit rates.
Nonprofit Rentals
In accordance with our commitment to serve the community and move the world towards justice, All Souls Church occasionally donates event space to groups that align with our mission and values. This agreement establishes clear expectations related to the space use so that our building, our staff, and All Souls’ relationship with the outside group(s) are well cared-for.
We place a high priority on ensuring that our custodial and front desk staff have reasonable hours and workloads. In cases where significant work is required, we may donate the space and ask the group to cover the cost of additional custodial and/or front desk support.
Please Note: The Church is not always able to offer donated space to organizations, and if we are not able to do so, we may be able to offer 25% reduced pricing instead.
In addition to the typical rental agreement requireents, groups receiving donated space agree to
Conduct all portions of your event within the church’s hours of operation. Our hours vary during the summer months of June-early September, so please ask the Event Management Team for a list of the current hours of operation.
Provide the name and contact information for a person who will be at the event, for the entire duration. This person is accountable for the expectations in this agreement.
All items you bring into the building must be removed by you/your organization on the same day; no exceptions.
Clean up any trash, recycling or other mess at the end of the meeting. This includes taking down any signs or literature hung or placed around the spaces.
All left over food and beverage items must be removed by you, or discarded. The church does not have programming related to food or food donations.
Put back any furniture you moved.
If the event is near the church’s closing time, agree to exit the church promptly.
